Beginners Knitting Workshop

Knitting workshop for complete beginners! Join us for our Beginners Knitting workshop with brilliant knitter Rachel Armytage to help you take that leap into learning to Knit this Winter! Knitting is such a fun and versatile skill to learn and there are so many things that you can make once you've learnt a few basic stitches. It is also a great hobby to have to help you relax and look after your everyday wellbeing. In this workshop we will start from the very beginning and you will learn all the basics including casting on, knit stitch, purl stitch and casting off. We will also introduce you to some simple patterns and send you off with all the skills and confidence you need to get started on a new project including links to our handy video tutorials. All materials are included and you will leave with a knitted sample and all the confidence to get started on some knitting projects! The workshop is suitable for complete beginners or those wanting to refresh their skills. Hot drinks and biscuits are included. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stitch-Up CIC is a social enterprise supporting people of all ages to learn new skills, improve wellbeing and connect with others through craft & creativity.
